Setting Up Message Groups for Palm SFA

Before you can use the Palm SFA application, you must modify the host system to work with Palm SFA. Create a message group on the host named PALM.ADM and assign users to it. This message group allows the system to send those users system messages related to synchronization between the Palm device and the host system. Use a message group when your organization has multiple administrators monitoring Palm SFA activity on your system.

You can also use the message group to add a secondary administrator, for example, when the primary administrator is on vacation.

To create the message group PALM.ADM:

  1. From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select Message Group Maintenance.

  2. In the Message Group ID field, type new. The system prompts for you to enter the message group ID.

  3. Enter PALM.ADM.

  4. In the Message Group Type field, press F10 and select GROUP. This option restricts who can view and edit messages sent to this group.

  5. In the Description field, enter Palm Message Group.

  6. Leave the Security Level field blank.

  7. In the User IDs field, enter the User IDs of users who must receive system messages when Palm SFA synchronizes with the host system.

  8. Press Esc to save changes and clear the screen.

  9. Press Esc to exit the screen.
